St Columban’s College was officially opened on Sunday 29 January 1928. The original property, known as Highlands, had been purchased in 1926 and was placed under the care of the Christian Brothers to provide Catholic education.
In 1985, the Christian Brothers formally handed the college to the Brisbane Catholic Education Office. A decision was made in 1995 to relocate the campus to Caboolture, with a fully co-educational campus opening at the commencement of the 1997 academic year.
The college later marked its 75th anniversary in 2003, reflecting its transition from its original Albion site to its Caboolture community.

At St Eugene College in Burpengary, the 2026 school year commenced with an Opening Liturgy led by Principal Louise Olley. The gathering introduced 2026 as the Year of Belonging, part of a three-year direction centred on belonging, growth and service.
A commissioned artwork by artist Kylie Farralley was presented to the college community. The artwork reflects themes of connection, learning and shared identity, with references to Burpengary Creek and acknowledgement of the Gubbi Gubbi people.
With College Captains now formally announced in Caboolture and Burpengary, both schools begin the 2026 academic year with their student leadership teams in place.
